Entering the 2018 season, the Oregon State Beavers were looking to improve after what proved to be an atrocious season in Corvallis. The Beavers finished the season 1-11 with their only win of the season coming against FCS opponent Portland State by a margin of 35-32.
Now under the direction of first-year head coach Jonathan Smith, who was a former quarterback at Oregon State in 2000, the Beavers have been a slightly more competitive team heading into their Week Five matchup against Arizona State with a record of 1-3.
The Sun Devils will enter the matchup as heavy favorites against the Beavers after a 2-2 start to the season including a win over Michigan State who was ranked No.
